I have a small home network consisting of two computers. My host machine is running a software firewall called kerio, it comes with built in IDS. I set up my client machine with a syslog daemon to capture my firewall logs.

My logs are being filled with "BAD-TRAFFIC loopback traffic" and port scans. This seems to me to be a missconfiguration somewhere.

I searched google and found dozens of posts regarding these alerts, but non of the responces made sence to me or fully answered the question,

some said it was a mis configured DHCP, and this makes some sence because my ISP uses that, but others refered to a link regarding egress,

I don't fully understand what is going on and what I can do to reduce the amount of allerts.

Ive attached a copy of my log, can some please explain to me whats going on.
